Never NEVER Give-up

Agree on all points!!! Running w/5 seconds left was a slap at our run defense and they thought they'd score - and it was worth the gamble because they were up by 14. His forward progress WAS stopped with 1 tick on the clock, but he was still in the process of falling . . . so we are all to believe that someone, somewhere was standing on top of a referee calling a timeout whilst the runner was stopped, but still falling to the ground???? I hope to hear more on this from Gailey during the post game press conferences. All that said, this happens to losing clubs, until they play well enough to overcome this crap - like we did today. Congrats to Chan & the team. As a point of reference, see our late fumble at Baltimore . . . Detroit's Johnson catching a late TD against the Bears, getting 2 feet down, then his hand, but when his hand w/the ball hit the turf - incomplete pass. BS!!! But it's what happens to losers until they overcome it. Maybe we're on our way!!

I agree w/SilverMike . . .whomever has a chance to draft a franchise QB will - especially Jerry Jones and Carolina too. Who doesn't want a franchise QB to lead his team for 10-15 years?!?!?!?!?

Let's bring him back as DC - it's what he was meant to do!! Just too darn nice to be HC.

Missed the game yesterday - debating whether to watch it tonight . . . hmmmm. That said, I haven't had a problem with Fred this year - he has been fine. His number of touches are down because he isn't the primary receiver for our QB like he was for #5!! Not to mention, we have been passing a little too much so he AND Spiller haven't received the carries we'd like to see. As for the Bear's game - I haven't seen it, maybe his play wasn't up to par yesterday - but he's been fine through the 1st 7 games when given the opportunity to play.

That's the real question . . . . whay hasn't anyone from the local media reached out to him - directly? Through his agent or the Chargers. I realize it may not be easy as he has to move across the country, but not even a peep?

Really?!?!?!?! I ONLY watched the NFL Network and Rich Eisen asked Jay Glazer what he thought about Merriman to Buffalo. Glazer said that Merriman must be thinking "What in my life have I done to deserve this?" Glazer went on to say the move made no sense - reasoning that he would be gone at the end of the year. I can't help but wonder, if say, the Fish or TB were to have picked him up . . . a genius move no doubt! The Bills will continue to be panned until we turn it around, luckily you found the media types who don't believe in kicking a guy when he's down, I guess

I am no coach, but to me Maybin still looks like a work in progress. He's all elbows and knees when he's out there - still looks like he's growing into his body (reminds me of my teenage son - just not yet aware of where he is in space - always bumping into things/people and a tad uncoordinated.) Let him sit and learn - he's so young and inexperienced. We knew he was a project when they drafted him. Yes, they never should have drafted him, but that's water under the bridge. He's here and he can sit until the OLB Coach-Sanders & DC-Edwards feel he's ready to play or until they feel he's a bust and release him. We need to focus on the guys giving us the best chance to win and Maybin is not yet ready.

If you check our coaching roster, we have an Inside LB Coach and Bob Sanders is our OLB Coach. If he's telling DC Edwards Maybin is not ready - he's not ready!! Sanders is a very good coach.

Once Wang gets the hang of guard, he can start and they can move Levitre out to Right Tackle. That might help our stop-gap-QB. Then our shopping list would be: QB LT Defensive front 7 WR (and a few somebodies on the list need to have some leadership traits!)

I also agree. Until we have 3-4 personnel, we will be a hybrid defense. Even if that means 4-3 most of the time. The bottom line is Chan wants his D to give opposing offenses fits. He wants them guessing. Well I think he's succeeded because we are all guessing and hoping this unit is at least as good (overall) as Perry Fewell's Defense was, but with marked improvement against the run!

If I am not mistaken, ESPN's Todd McShay - their resident number cruncher - did an analysis of college QB's that went to the NFL and the single-most determining factor that is telling of a QB's success from the college to the pro ranks is their % completion. Those over 60% are far more successful than those under. The higher they are over 60% the better. Locker's #'s should give pause, but his 2010 season will be the greatest factor.

Geeze - calm down! It's football. He's young and dumb, and he can play the game when he sets his mind to it. Year 1 was very good. Year 2 wasn't. Year 3 - who knows? Give him a chance. If he approaches anything close to year 1, we'll have a devastating trio at the position and great injury insurance. Also, he will increase his trade value for all of you who want to travel that road. I'd rather keep him and hope he straightens out. Remember Freddy's 29 and a good mentor for him (for off-field behavior). Give the bashing a rest.

How can you argue the point. They do these rankings almost weekly and right now we are a busload of question marks. I'd rather be at 31 now than in January. Besides, that ranking just may get some of these guys ticked-off enough to do something about it. I have no problem at all with that ranking at this time.

Kelly naive? I don't think so. Trent was being kind, Kelly isn't naive about much, he's pretty street smart. However, the remark about California QBs WAS ignorant!!

Budy Nix isn't interested in 1 year additions. So Mawae wouldn't be someone they're interested in.

I would love to see a wishbone variation of the wildcat. Imagine Lynch lined up as a FB behind the QB, with Spiller & Jackson split in the backfield. Any one of the 3 could run out of that formation OR Spiller & Jackson could go into passroutes. This could drive defenses crazy. At the very least, I think it would make defenses honest . . . if they jammed the box, we could hit on a lot of big plays!!

I'd love the Bills to run a wishbone version of the wildcat. Imagine Lynch in the FB position behind the QB (TBD) and Jackson & Spiller split in the backfield. Any one of the 3 could run from this formation or Jackson and Spiller could go in motion - image defenses trying to cover that - whether they respect our QB or not. Pretty soon teams would need to play us straight up and be "honest". I can't wait to see Chan's offensive creativity!!!!

Actually, attending the draft is Free - seriously. But you'd have to find out when tickets become available and then be in line to get them. That's why every year you see the Jets-loser fans at the draft. They're all out of work and can sit on line all day long. Now that the JETs FO is better, it's not as fun as when they used to use their #1 choice on tight ends!! But because tickets are free, we will always see the majority of attendees are Jets/Giants fans & distantly followed by Eagle & Patriot fans (they are closer to NYC than most).

Try HSBC - they are always lookin for experienced Branch People - sales background is helpful, but talk-up your operational expertise. Upcoming Branch projects will require Branch personnel to be strong in this vein.

He's got the arm. He is a football rat. Football is his life. (Like Manning - always studying.) He completed 70% of his passes last year. His TD/Interception Ratio was outstanding. Some say he's cocky. So was Kelly, who could be insufferable. Who cares? He is a leader too. So IF he's available, IF Gailey/Nix like him, IF they think he is a franchise QB - - - then take him. Frankly, I feel the same way about Tebow & McCoy - - if Nix and Chan believe in them - then take 'em! Otherwise we have a couple of other needs and could draft someone else at 9 (will there be a worthy LT at 9?) or trade down and get another pick or 2. We could easily get McCoy or Tebow in this scenario - maybe even Claussen. Frankly, I hope this is how it goes.

The Wilson hit in AZ made Trent skittish and his OL never redeemed itself by providing him some hope he would be protected. Hence, his skittishness (?) only got worse and they went to Ryan because a vet, he would be able to handle that pressure better - remember the coaches saying he gave them the best chance to win? Slim yes, but a better chance. If the OL improves, ANY QB will have greated confidence and therefore we should see better play from that position in 2010.

The post is right about one thing - it helps clear up the draft. It means the Skins won't be taking Clausen and it does mean they will help deplete the tackle pool by taking one before our pick at #9. Unless Nix & Co are COMPLETELY sold on Clausen, I want no part of him and I want them to take an OT. If not, take a DT. But I don't want them taking a flyer on Clausen. I'd rather see us take QB's McCoy or Tebow with the #2 pick.

He led Miami to one of its greatest 4th Qtr comebacks. Against the Bills! So you KNOW he's Good!!!!!

Who knows what will happen, but I can't help but think about 2 specific comments Chan has said over the last week or two: 1) It's a 3-way battle for the Bills QB position; & 2) I hope to have the QB position settled by the Draft Hmmm. We can't have it both ways. It'll be interesting to see what they do. Whereas the moody McNabb is better than Vick; Vick is hungrier and would probably be willing to come to Buffalo. I don't want to draft a maybe-QB. Are they really sold on any of them? Here's hoping the go OL and DL and if Tebow is there in the 3rd, why not? But no QB or RB in the 1st 2 rounds. Concentrate on the lines and maybe a LB in the 1st 3 rounds.

We don't get anything for Jabari Greer????
